Kathmandu, Nepal – a city of contrast. We stayed in the older part called Thamel. The buildings look like they were built 100's of years ago and with the huge cracks that they all have, it is a wonder they are still standing. It seems that the smallest of earth quakes would completely ruin this city. Just 2 kms away is the newer Kathmandu with its designer shops, crystal shops and KFC. A complete contrast to Thamel.
The traffic in India was crazy beyond words but at least they do drive slow there and look out for pedestrians, in Nepal they take it to a whole new level by driving very fast and they have no regard for pedestrians.
